Pac fans are hyped as if he did something great. We did see the Manny of old no doubt, and I mean that literally. He fought a fighter that every one knew he wouldn't loose to and the fighter was coming off of a lost as usual. That sounds like the Manny of old to me all day. He won really ?? Please who thought he wouldn't?
The manner in which he easily dealt with Rios is impressive considering hes coming off a brutal ko and a year lay off.
Only the dumba$$es that thinks rios can beat pacquiao. Rios aint a counter puncher like marquez which he knows 1 way and that's come forward which his defense is his face taking shots. It was easy fight to tell who will win.
Every poster here that actually knows boxing said the same thing it would be Pac vs heavybag and thats what it was, simply put fact that ATG knocked Pac out doesnt mean C level fighter with no footwork speed or RING IQ can KO him.
Floyd Did the Same(easily dealt with) to Marquez after more time lay off... he mad Marquez look like a D level fighter, which we all know is not the case....
It was more of whether can take a punch or not after the Marquez KO that intrigue me and whether the KO had any lingering effects on his mindset. I expected Pacquiao to win, but he exceeded my expectation. It's not like Rios can't crack. lol...it's not something to go around bragging about.
The manner of how Rios kept on coming up until the 12th round is impressive, how Canelo came with either a bad game plan or just freaking gun shy is embarrassing.
One of the funniest post on here. Khan would get KOed in a fight with Rios. Rios is a pressure fighter with a solid chin and hits hard. Khan can't handle pressure fighters he can't hurt. After losing steam he'd get caught on the rope and KOed.
I like Khan, but he went life and death with Maidana. Who is both smaller and even less skilled than Rios.
It wasn't anything special but it was a good tune up to knock some of the rust off. This win was on level with the shut out Floyd pitched against Robert. It was a fun fight to watch because everyone wanted to see if Pac was shot aftdr the KO to Juan but he obviously is not. A little slower and more cautious but That is expected.
